LEGO MOCs

In the LEGO community, MOC stands for My Own Creation. I've tried to
capture a few designs from my youth before my kids destroy them. I
used the open source LEGO CAD
programLDraw to digitize my creation,
creating the images below. I created my first in one evening while
watching a movie, so its relatively easy to use. To be fair, I was
already familiar
with Partsref numbering
from Peeron from my
LEGO inventory project, which helped in
understanding and looking up part names. Click the LDraw files links
under the pictures if you want to access the source files.

MINI

This was a little drone fighter model I liked to make several of with
extra parts. I used to make a number of them to swarm over and attack
my
Classic
Space ships. The bottom guns rotates independently of the body and
can also be attached under the back in a fixed rear gun position.

Rider

This was a sturdy ship created with a kid I met while spending some
time at cabin at Blue Mountain Lake with my
trusty #789
Storage Cloth full of spare bricks. It is virtually
indestructable, which is probably why it lasted long enough to be
recorded here.

VTOL aircraft

This was a VTOL aircraft I built in middle school. I had a little grey
one like pictured here as well as a white one. For vertical flight,
the engines rotate back 90 degrees. They were part of a awesome dual
hull catamaran aircraft carrier that unfortunately did not survive. I
finally broke the grey one down because I needed
the 2x10 plate to
rebuild #497 Galaxy
Explorer .
